  • New ‘Moon Knight’ Promo Art Offers New Look at Costume

    New ‘Moon Knight’ Promo Art Offers New Look at Costume

    We only recently got the confirmation that Moon Knight will finally premiere at the end of March. The first trailer teased Oscar Isaac‘s take on the character and his split mental state. We also got a great look at the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s take on the character’s costume, which seems heavily inspired by his Egyptian roots, especially with Khonshu wearing something similar during his brief appearance in the trailer. While we got a good look at his costume, new promotional artwork has found its way online offering a new look at the costume and its many details, as shared by @cosmic_marvel:

    The promo image actually lets you see some of the details that are at play with the logo. The moon on his chest has a few binds going through it, and you can even see some gold plating behind them. It looks like it isn’t a costume entirely made of those binds but there’s also a layer underneath to protect Marc Spector when he is confronted by any threats.

    The eyes are definitely quite different from live-action, which may get adjusted once the series releases to give him more expressions over the glowing eyes. Here’s hoping we get more teases on what the full design looks like and even Mr. Knight, who was briefly teased during Disney+ Day.

  • ‘She-Hulk’s Tim Roth Didn’t Expect to Return to the MCU

    ‘She-Hulk’s Tim Roth Didn’t Expect to Return to the MCU

    She-Hulk will see the return of Tim Roth to the role of Abomination. While he did get a small cameo in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, it’ll be his true return to the role since the release of 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. Of course, it surprised many as that film seemed like Marvel Studios was trying to move away from the externally produced film, but started embracing it more since William Hurt‘s return as Thunderbolt Ross in Captain America: Civil War. In an interview with Uproxx, Tim Roth reveals he never expected to ever make a return to the MCU.

    Well, honestly, it totally surprised me. I went in to chat with Kevin Feige and he said, “I’ve got an idea. Come in.” Really? Really? Because the original thing that I did, when I did that first Incredible Hulk movie, was I just did it for my kids.

    Tim Roth

    He was quite surprised given the complicated beginnings of the franchise, but it highlights just how much Marvel Studios has changed over the years. Ross even praises their work but points out not every project worked for him, highlighting Wolverine and Deadpool as his favorites. He goes on to say:

    Did that. So I was amazed when they came back around and said, “How would you feel about…” And I went, “Yeah. All right!” And we just shot it, I guess in the summer last year or whatever. I think that they’re in post now doing it, so whenever. Bonus, I got to work with Mark Ruffalo. Awesome. Who I love. And I don’t know if I’m allowed to say. Oh, I can say that. But this extraordinary woman, Tatiana…Incredible, that woman. So that was a blast. It was insane

    Tim Roth

    It’s certainly exciting to see the praise Roth is giving Tatiana Maslany, who will spearhead the project as Jennifer Walters. We don’t know yet how she’ll become the titular She-Hulk, as it was through a blood transfusion in the comics, and what role Ross’ Abomination may have, but here’s hoping it opens up the window for him to return in the future.

  • ‘Fortnite’: Leak Offers First Look at ‘Hawkeye’-Inspired Skins

    ‘Fortnite’: Leak Offers First Look at ‘Hawkeye’-Inspired Skins

    It’s already been a few weeks since Marvel Studios’ last Diseny+ series, Hawkeye, ended its run. We explored the story of Clint Barton and Kate Bishop, as they faced an unlikely challenge in the return of Vincent D’Onofrio‘s Kingpin. It was only a question of time until the new designs of these iconic characters make their way to other media, and it looks like Fortnite had some big plans for the characters that ended up leaking earlier.

    @ralisdumb has shared the loading screen for the two new skins, which continues to prove that Epic Games found the perfect animation style for its skins in Fortnite. It seems like they can perfectly adapt any type of medium into the game, as it now includes live-action characters, animation, and who knows what else might get added in the future.

    I do love the aesthetic they took to highlight the skins, as it has this neon noir take on the rings. The Disney+ series mostly has a Christmas aesthetic and takes a lot of inspiration from the My Life as a Weapon storyline, which had a flat design. So, the Fortnite take on the design is a great way to not only make the new skins stand out but also give it a unique spin.

  • ‘Moon Knight’ Trailer Includes First Look at Khonshu

    ‘Moon Knight’ Trailer Includes First Look at Khonshu

    After a long wait, the first trailer has finally dropped for the upcoming Disney+ series, Moon Knight. Oscar Isaac takes the spotlight as the mentally broken man that is about to uncover his secret identity as the titular hero. In the comics, the character suffers from a multiple personality disorder, which made it difficult for readers to know if everything he witnesses is real. Included in that is his own heroic origin as the messenger for the Egyptian god known as Khonshu.

    The 2016 comic run introduced a very eerie design, which saw Kohnshu wearing the Mr. Knight outfit but with a bird skull. It was uncertain if the Disney+ series was going to truly jump into that part of his mythology or keep it for the future. Yet, after the first teaser hinted at the inclusion of humanoid Jackals, it gave us some hope that he’d make an appearance in the series. Completely catching us off guard is the fact that Khonshu even shows up in the first trailer for the series.

    Image

    While we don’t get a full look, we definitely see the iconic staff and the skull that adorned his face. He’s not wearing the white suit, as he is seemingly wearing the same outfit that Moon Knight is in throughout the trailer. As such, we might assume that once he appears it always reflects the costume. The Disney+ Day teaser included a reference to Mr. Knight, which could also lead to Khonshu wearing that outfit as well at some point. It’s exciting to see Marvel Studios fully embrace the character’s mythology and hopefully play with the viewer’s perception of reality.

  • Ethan Hawke’s ‘Moon Knight’ Character Revealed

    Ethan Hawke’s ‘Moon Knight’ Character Revealed

    The first trailer for Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight is here and has finally solved the mystery of just who Ethan Hawke is playing in the streaming series.

    https://twitter.com/MarvelStudios/status/1483272963419824130?t=9wCYDGJpa7vDEKCMKB9MuA&s=19

    Closed captioning on the trailer reveals that Hawke is playing scientist Arthur Harrow. Harrow was first introduced in Moon Knight Vol. 2 #2. Harrow does some nasty Nazi-esque experiments on people and creates essentially zombie soldiers. This is a shockingly minor character for Hawke to play, but it will give him free reign to recreate the character however he best serves the story.

    Moon Knight debuts on Disney Plus March 30th.

  • ‘Moon Knight’ Confirmed For March 30th Premiere

    ‘Moon Knight’ Confirmed For March 30th Premiere

    Ahead of tonight’s trailer, Marvel Studios has finally confirmed the premiere date of Moon Knight. Mark your calendars on March 30th as that’s when the Fist of Konshu debuts in the MCU.

    This confirmation comes days after the folks at That Hashtag Show reported the March 30th date. A March 30th premiere date would align Moon Knight’s finale with the premiere of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness come May. All in all, very exciting news for everyone dying to see this show.

  • Official Japanese Marvel Site May Offer First Glimpse at Marvel Studios’ 2022 Disney+ Schedule

    Official Japanese Marvel Site May Offer First Glimpse at Marvel Studios’ 2022 Disney+ Schedule

    We’ve been trying to wrap our heads around what the schedule might look like for Marvel Studios’ release plans on Disney+ in 2022. We even made a conceptual timeline, which you can check out here. The latest reveal that we’ll get a Moon Knight trailer on Monday at least confirmed what we can expect early on, but we still know very little about the rest of the year. Luckily, the Japanese Marvel site may have offered our potential first glimpse at the 2022 release schedule.

    What stands out is that Moon Knight is included ahead of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which is then followed by She-Hulk. That schedule makes sense given the six-episode structure, but what is a bit confusing is that between its release and that of Thor: Love and Thunder in July, we would get not one but three Disney+ series. In addition to She-Hulk, I Am Groot and the second season of What If…? are included. Of course, it may overlap given when the shows might release, but Ms. Marvel seemingly won’t release until the fourth Thor film hits theaters in July.

    It seems a bit unrealistic we’d get three shows in the course of a few months, as 2021 was quite spread out. Plus, there are also quite a few Star Wars series that is aiming a release next year Also, if this is a potential “release schedule” it does make you wonder why Secret Invasion is set ahead of November’s release of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, but is the only one listed without a release date. Plus, it would make sense for that series to release around The Marvels and it might be quite a lot if they release six series over the course of a year.

    It actually makes you wonder just how big a project I Am Groot might be, as it could be closer to Disney+’s classic shorts. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s more an Olaf Presents-type series that consists of a few smaller segments. So, that would make its release more fitting but What If…? and She-Hulk within around two months seems like a lot. Perhaps they are trying out a new strategy this year, but we won’t know until we get a clearer release date.

  • ‘Moon Knight’ Disney+ Teaser Offers First Look a Comic-Inspired Humanoid Jackal

    ‘Moon Knight’ Disney+ Teaser Offers First Look a Comic-Inspired Humanoid Jackal

    We’ve long theorized that Moon Knight is our first step into the supernatural horror from the comics. Ever since the announcement that Blade was getting a film, it seemed like the perfect start into that world. Ironically, Eternals’ post-credit sequence did technically set up that corner with the first off-screen appearance of Mahershala Ali‘s Blade, but the latest teaser for Moon Knight solidified the supernatural direction for the franchise. While teased in the initial 2022 preview from Disney+ Day, the teaser unveiled who it is that Moon Knight is beating up and it looks like a humanoid Jackal.

    It takes a bit to make out, but you can clearly see its brown thin legs with the Jackal-esque ears and snout before he gets a hit to the face. At first one would think it may be a Werewolf, especially with the Halloween special in development, but fans of the 2016 Moon Knight run might remember we’ve seen humanoid Jackals inspired by the Egyptian god of Anubis before. This one doesn’t seem to be wearing the white jacket that we saw in the comics, but we also don’t know how much the show is going to play with us as viewers. It’s great though how much they are jumping into the Egyptian aspect of the character.

  • New ‘Moon Knight’ Teaser Offers First Look at Ethan Hawke’s Mystery Villain

    New ‘Moon Knight’ Teaser Offers First Look at Ethan Hawke’s Mystery Villain

    We’ve been discussing when we may finally find out what is the first 2022 release by Marvel Studios on Disney+. When the teaser for a trailer dropped today, it was our confirmation that Moon Knight will be the first to start off the year. We still have to wait until Monday, but even the small teaser has offered a few glimpses at what we can expect from the new series. Among them is our first look at Ethan Hawke‘s mysterious character in the upcoming series.

    We’re still waiting for any real hint at who exactly he is playing, but there have been many theories that he may turn out to be Dracula. Yet, we’ve also theorized he might be the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s take on The Profile. For now, all we can do is theorize on who he is, and there’s a chance the full trailer may offer a closer hint due to his limited role in the teaser, but him sensing the “chaos” in Marc Spector does hint at a supernatural connection.
